If you’re a young teenager, with high levels of testosterone, then you’ll surely appreciate this one from Axe. Heck, even i enjoyed the fine details they did at axebcww.com, a multi-language site, with 4 girls singing their sexy new music in their world tour.

Even if Axe is setting the objectification of women to higher levels, you’ve got to love that funny tune. I confess - i’ve downloaded the ringtone. The video is all “Destinys Child like”, well produced and - imagine this - with a plot.

On a side note, the site was found through axeads Blog, where you find this and other ads by the Unilever deodorant brand and some of them are even good. Bom Chicka Wah Wah.

From http://www.zubbles.com/whatAreZubbles/index.asp:

“Bubbles have long been a source of delight and fascination for children the world over.Now, after ten years of experiments and discoveries, the creative minds at Ascadia have done what scientists claimed was impossible… we’ve combined the simple joy of bubbles with the beauty and magic of color, inventing the world’s first real colored bubbles.

We call them Zubbles®.”

This time of the year brings us some great holiday cards. One of the better examples, is from Big Spaceship that goes all the way around, allowing personal messages and video mashup.

In the default card the boys from New York clarify they are not “nerds who don’t know what brocolli is”.
